Use the 2012 segment information provided by BMW and Volkswagen to an- swer the following questions: a. Which company is more multinational? b. Which company is more internationally diversified? c. In which region(s) of the world did each company experience the greatest growth from 2011–2012? the greatest decline?
Answer with its Explanation:
a). The total revenue of Volkswagen and BMW in the 2012 segment given shows that the revenue is $192,676 and BMW which is $76,848. As the revenue of Volkswagen is more than the BMW hence Volkswagen is more multinational.
b). The regional sales section shows that the Volkswagen is more internationally recognized as per the regional sales which is substantially higher than the regional sales of BMW. So its crystal clear that Volkswagen is the one which more internationally diversified.
c). The 2012 segment information shows that the BMW greatest growth was in China then in USA and then greatest growth was in Rest of the Europe and the greatest decline was in Rest of the America.
For Volkswagen, the greatest growth was in North America then in Asia and then in South America. The greatest decline wasn't seen in the segment information but lowest increase was seen in Germany and then in the European countries.
One-year Treasury securities yield 4%. The market anticipates that 1-year from now 1-year Treasury securities will yield 2.1%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what should be the yield today for 2-year Treasury securities? Write your answer as a percentage, i.e. for example write 8% as 8.
Answer:
3.05%
Explanation:
According to Pure Expectation Theory, the future short term interest rates are actually the forward rates.
Mathematically,
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + r1,0)^1 * (1 + r1,1)^1
Here,
r2,0 is the rate of interest for 2 year treasury security from today
r1,0 is the rate of the interest for 1 year treasury security from today
r1,1 is the rate of the interest for 2 year treasury security from Year 1
By Putting Values, we have:
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + 0.04)^1 * (1 + 0.021)^1
(1 + r2,0)^2 = 1.06184
By taking square-root on both sides, we have:
(1 + r2,0) = 1.0305
r2,0 = 3.05%

Photo Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,200 per month plus $20 per frame. For the month of November, the company planned for activity of 618 frames, but the actual level of activity was 610 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $13,850. The spending variance for supplies cost in November would be closest to:
Answer:
Direct material spending variance= $451.4 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Photo Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,200 per month plus $20 per frame.
Actual level of activity was 610 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $13,850.
To calculate the spending variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= (13,850 - 1,200)/610= $20.74
Direct material price variance= (20 - 20.74)*610
Direct material price variance= $451.4 unfavorable

Ship Co. produces storage crates that require 34.0 meters of material at $0.20 per meter and 0.30 direct labor hours at $19.00 per hour. Overhead is applied at the rate of $16 per direct labor hour. What is the total standard cost for one unit of product that would appear on a standard cost card?
Answer:
Total standard cost = $103.7
Explanation:
Standard cost is the sum of the standard material cost , standard labour cost and standard overhead
Overhead = OAR × direct labour hour
= $16 × (0.30×$19.00)= 91.2
Standard cost = (34.0×$0.20) + (0.30×$19.00) + 91.2 = $103.7
Standard cost = $103.7
For 2018, Rest-Well Bedding uses machine-hours as the only overhead cost-allocation base. The direct cost rate is $6.00 per unit. The selling price of the product is $21.00. The estimated manufacturing overhead costs are $275,000 and estimated 40,000 machine hours. The actual manufacturing overhead costs are $350,000 and actual machine hours are 50,000. Using job costing, the 2018 actual indirect-cost rate is ________.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.875 per machine-hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The estimated manufacturing overhead costs are $275,000 and an estimated 40,000 machine hours.
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 275,000/40,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.875 per machine-hour
Randolph is a 30 percent partner in the RD Partnership. On January 1, RD distributes $24,500 cash and inventory with a fair value of $23,600 (inside basis of $11,800) to Randolph in complete liquidation of his interest. RD has no liabilities at the date of the distribution. Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $39,725. What is the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution
Answer:
3425 LOSS
Explanation:
Randolph gain or loss can be calculated as
Gain/loss = Cash distribution + Inventory distribution - Basis in RD
Gain/loss = $24,500 + $11,800 - $39,725
Gain/loss = (3425) LOSS
As You can see RD distributing cash and inventory and they are less than his basis in RD
Rachelle transfers property with a tax basis of $800 and a fair market value of $960 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $765 and $42 in cash in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $153 on the property transferred. What is the corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange
Answer:
$842
Explanation:
The computation of corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange is shown below:-
corporation's tax basis = Fair market value + Transaction
= $800 + $42
= $842
Therefore, The corporation's tax basis should be equivalent to the shareholder's tax basis as the property is transferred for $800 (a substituted basis) and add gain recognized of $42. And If the corporation sells the property for $960, the recognized gain would be $52.

1. A company sells a plant asset that originally cost $375,000 for $125,000 on December 31, 2017. The accumulated depreciation account had a balance of $150,000 after the current year's depreciation of $37,500 had been recorded. The company should recognize a
Answer:
The company should recognize a loss on sale of plant asset of $100,00.
Explanation:
The cost = $375,000
Accumulated Depreciation = $150,000
Therefore, book value = $225,000
This book value is compared with the sales value of $125,000.
There is a difference of $100,000 ($225,000 - $125,000).
Since the book value is greater than the sales value, it means that the plant asset was sold at a loss.
The cost is the amount at which the plant asset was purchased. The accumulated depreciation represents the cost that has been expensed so far. The sales value is the amount at which the plant asset was sold.
A truck was purchased 3 years ago for $50,000 and can be sold today for $25,000. The operating costs are $9,000 per year, and it is expected to last 4 more years with a $5,000 salvage value. A new truck, which will perform that same service, can be purchased for $55,000, and it will have a life of 10 years with operating costs of $28,000 per year and a $10,000 salvage value. What is the value that should be used as P for the presently owned vehicle in a replacement study
Answer:
P = $25,000
Explanation:
Cost price of truck = $50,000
Present value = $25,000
Operating costs = $9,000 per year
Salvage value = $4,000
Find remaining amount for old truck:
Amount remaining = $50,000 - $25,000 = $25,000
Total amount, since it has a salvage value of $5,000:
Total = $25,00 + $5,000 = $30,000
For new truck:
Cost price = $55,000
Operating costs = $28,000 per year
Salvage value = $10,000
To find the value that should be used as P for the presently owned vehicle in a replacement study:
P = Cost of new truck - Total amount remaining from old truck
P = $55,000 - $30,000
P = $25,000
Therefore, the value that should be used as P for the presently owned vehicle in a replacement study is $25,000
A company had beginning inventory... A company had beginning inventory of 10 units at a cost of $20 each on March 1. On March 2, it purchased 10 units at $22 each. On March 6 it purchased 6 units at $25 each. On March 8, it sold 22 units for $54 each. Using the FIFO perpetual inventory method, what was the cost of the 22 units sold
Answer:
COGS= $470
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 10 units for $20 each
On March 2, it purchased 10 units at $22 each.
On March 6 it purchased 6 units at $25 each.
On March 8, it sold 22 units for $54 each.
We need to determine the cost of goods sold for the 22 units under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method. Using this method, we need to use the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory.
COGS= 10*20 + 10*22 + 2*25= $470
Increased Efficiency, Inc. is looking for ways to shorten its cash conversion cycle. It has annual sales of $36,500,000, or $100,000 a day on a 365-day basis. The firm's cost of goods sold is 65% of sales. On average, the company has $9,000,000 in inventory and $8,000,000 in accounts receivable. Its CFO has proposed new policies that would result in a 20% reduction in both average inventories and accounts receivable. She also anticipates that these policies would reduce sales by 10%, while the payables deferral period would remain unchanged at 40 days. What effect would these policies have on the company's cash conversion cycle
Answer and Explanation:
The cash conversion cycle refers to the cycle which includes the days inventory outstanding and days sales outstanding and deduct the days payable outstanding
The cash cycle = Days inventory outstanding + days sale outstanding - days payable outstanding
The computation is shown in the attachment below:
As we can see in the attachment the new proposed policy i.e 234.19 days would decrease the cash conversion cycle by 24.27 days as compared with the current proposal policy i.e 258.46 days

To advertise or not to advertise Suppose that Creamland and Dairy King are the only two firms that sell ice cream. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether or not it advertises:
Dairy King
Advertise Doesn't Advertise
Creamland Advertise 10,10 18, 2
Doesn't Advertise 2,18 11,11
For example, the upper right cell shows that if Creamland advertises and Dairy King doesn't advertise, Creamland will make a profit of $18 million, and Dairy King will make a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Creamland and Dairy King are both profit-maximizing firms.
a. If Creamland decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ _______ million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $_______ million if Dairy King not advertise.
b. If Creamland decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of________ million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of______ $ million if Dairy King does not advertise.
Suppose that both firms start off not advertising. If the firms act independently, what strategies will they end up choosing?
a. Creamland will choose not to advertise and Dairy King will choose to advertise.
b. Both firms will choose not to advertise.
c. Both firms will choose to advertise.
d. Creamland will choose to advertise and Dairy King will choose not to advertise.
Answer:
a. 10, 18
b. 2, 11
c. Both firms will choose to advertise.
Explanation:
Interpreting the payoff matrix for all possible cases:
Both Advertise:
Dairy King profit = 10
Creamland profit = 10
Neither Advertise:
Dairy King profit = 11
Creamland profit = 11
Only Dairy King advertises:
Dairy King profit = 18
Creamland profit = 2
Only Creamland advertises:
Dairy King profit = 2
Creamland profit = 18.
Filling in the blanks:
a. If Creamland decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $10 million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $18 million if Dairy King not advertise.
b. If Creamland decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of $2 million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $11 million if Dairy King does not advertise.
For both firms, if they choose not to advertise and the other firm advertises, they will have a much lower profit than their competitors. Therefore, the dominant strategy for either firm is to advertise since it will at least keep them even with their competitor (if both advertise).
The answer is c. Both firms will choose to advertise.
Kahn of Portland Oregon sent a letter to Lischner of Los Angeles inquiring whether Kushner’s property in Humboldt County was for sale. Lischner replied that he was interested in selling and asked Kahn about the fair market value. Kahn wrote that it was difficult to make an offer without a legal description of the property and asked for it and the annual taxes. These were provided by Lischner. Subsequently, Kahn wrote, "I hesitate to place a value on someone else’s property, but I can tell you that I have been offered a similar track of property for $2,000. Since your property is closer to mine, I would prefer to buy yours, and offer a four-year term contract at a total price of $2,500." The two parties ultimately agreed on a cash price of $2,500. Shortly after contracting with Kahn, Lischner went to Humboldt county and readily learned, upon the most superficial inquiry that the property was worth more than $2,500. He sold the property to Pacoima Lumber Sales, Inc. for $7,500. Thereupon, Kahn sued Lischner for $5,000. Lischner responded that he had been induced to contract by a fraudulent misrepresentation as to the value of the property by Kahn and therefore could rescind their contract of sale.What are the elements that must be present for fraudulent misrepresentation? Did Kahn commit fraud? Why, or why not.
Answer:
Misrepresentation & Fraud:
a) Elements for Fraudulent Misrepresentation:
1) A representation was in fact made: This means that it was not just a mere opinion expressed by the party misrepresenting.
2) That particular representation was false: The statement made was untrue.
3) The defendant had knowledge that the representation was false: The misrepresentation was intentional on the party of the defendant.
4) The statement was made with the intention that the other party rely on it and enter into a contract or agreement: The defendant was out to induce the other party to enter the contract.
b) Kahn committed a fraud since he intentionally induced Lischner to contract on the basis of fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedy available for Lischner is to rescind the contract.
Explanation:
a) Fraudulent misrepresentation is the presentation of false facts by someone who attempts to persuade another into action with the intent to deceive. The remedy available to the deceived party is to rescind the contract or to plea for damages.
b) According to the britannica.com, "Fraud, in law, is the deliberate misrepresentation of fact for the purpose of depriving someone of a valuable possession."
QUESTION 12 For a strategic alliance, firms should seek partners that are: a. known for being opportunistic. b. radically different when it comes to strategic goals. c. willing to share costs and risks of new-product development. d. different in terms of vision and agendas. e. similar when it comes to capabilities.
Answer:
c. willing to share costs and risks of new-product development.
Explanation:
A strategic alliance is when two companies come together to carry out a project that benefits both companies while both companies still retain their independence.
If strategic alliance is carried out with a company that is opportunistic, the company might take advantage of the other company or take certain actions that would not benefit the other company.
strategic alliance has to be mutually beneficial to both companies, so, strategic goals and visions have to align.
Capabilities don't have to be the same for a strategic alliance.

Consider two ways of commuting in a crowded city: taking public transportation, such as subway and buses, or driving your own car.
A person who chooses to take public transportation in a crowded city imposes a NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE externality on drivers. A policy implication of this result is a SUBSIDY FOR OR TAX ON those who take public transportation.
Persons who choose to drive their own cars to get around in a crowded city impose a NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE externality on other drivers. A policy implication of this result is a TAX ON OR SUBSIDY FOR those who drive their own cars.
Answer: positive; subsidy for; negative; tax on.
Explanation:
A positive externality occurs when the activities of an economic agent is of benefit to another third party that is not part of the activity or transaction while negative externality is the cost an individual bears due to the market activities of another individual or firm. It should be noted that the third parties didn't plan to incur the costs or benefits mentioned above.
Therefore, an individual who chooses to take public transportation in a crowded city imposes a positive externality on drivers. We are told that the city is overcrowded, therefore using public transportation means there will be lesser vehicles on the road and this will be beneficial to the drivers and there may be subsidy for those who take public transportation.
The people who choose to drive their own cars to get around in a crowded city impose a negative externality because there will be traffic congestion and health hazards and a tax can be imposed on them.

Agent Jennings makes a presentation on Medicare advertised as an educational event. Agent Jennings distributes materials that are solely educational in nature. However, she gives a brief presentation that mentions plan-specific premiums. Is this a prohibited activity at an event that has been advertised as educational?
Answer:
Yes it is
Explanation:
Yes. When an event has been advertised as educational, going ahead to discuss plan-specific premiums is impermissible
The event for which Mary made the presentation is clearly an educational event so she should have concentrated fully on only educational contents that pertains to the event. Giving a presentation that mentions plan-specific premiums no matter how brief is a deviation from the main focus of the event. Therefore it is impermissible for her to do so.

Lease A does not contain a bargain purchase option, but the lease term is equal to 90% of the estimated economic life of the leased property. Lease B does not transfer ownership of the property to the lessee by the end of the lease term, but the lease term is equal to 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased property. Based on this information alone, how should the lessee classify these leases
Answer: Lease A Capital lease
Lease B Capital lease
Explanation:
A Capital lease is known as a lease agreement in which the lessor ( someone giving out the property) agrees to transfer the ownership rights to the lessee ( someone acquiring or needing the services of the property). After completion of the agreed lease period.
In a capital lease, the lessor is usually mandated to transfer the ownership rights of the asset to the lessee upon the end of the agreed lease term between both parties.
On December 31, the end of the first year of operations, Frankenreiter Inc. manufactured 25,600 units and sold 24,000 units. The following income statement was prepared, based on the variable costing concept: Frankenreiter Inc.

Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 25,600 units
Units sold= 24,000
Variable cost of goods sold= $5,376,000
Fixed manufacturing costs= $1,664,000
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Variable costing method:
Unitary product cost= 5,376,000/25,600= $210
Absorption costing:
Unitary product cost= 210 + (1,664,000/25,600)= $275

8. Problems and Applications Q8 The city government is considering two tax proposals: • A lump-sum tax of $300 on each producer of hamburgers. • A tax of $1 per burger, paid by producers of hamburgers. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the lump-sum tax? Check all that apply. Average fixed cost will increase. Average variable cost will remain unchanged. Average total cost will increase. Marginal cost will increase. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the per-burger tax? Check all that apply. Average fixed cost will remain unchanged. Average total cost will increase. Average variable cost will increase. Marginal cost will remain unchanged.
Answer:
Which of the following statements is true as a result of the lump-sum tax?
Average fixed cost will increase.
Average total cost will increase.
The lump-sum tax of $300 is a one time payment that does not depend on the amount of output, for this reason, it is a fixed cost that is spread over the total quantity of burgers that are produced, and that also affect average total cost.
Which of the following statements is true as a result of the per-burger tax?
Average fixed cost will remain unchanged.
Average total cost will increase.
Average variable cost will increase.
The per-burger tax depends on the quanityt of burgers produced, therefore, it is another variable cost. It affects average total cost, and average variable cost, while average fixed cost remains unchaged precisely because it is not a fixed cost.
The average cost of production is computed by dividing the number cost (TC) by the output produced (TO) (Q). When we say "per unit cost of production," we mean that all fixed and variable costs are taken into account when calculating the average cost.
As a result, it's also known as Per Unit Total Cost.
The answers to the above questions are:
1) The $300 lump-sum tax is a one-time contribution that is not based on the amount of output; as a result, it is a fixed cost that is distributed across the total quantity of burgers produced, affecting the average total cost.
So, Option A and C are correct.
2) The per-burger tax is a variable expense that is determined by the number of burgers consumed. It has an effect on average total cost and average variable cost, but it has no effect on average fixed cost because it is not a fixed cost.
So, Option A, B, and C are correct.
Thus these Options are correct for the following question.

If annual demand is 12,000 units, the ordering cost is $6 per order, and the holding cost is $2.50 per unit per year, which of the following is the optimal order quantity using the fixed-order quantity model?
A. 421
B. 234
C. 78
D. 26
E. 312
Answer:
240 units
Explanation:
We can find Optimal order quantity easily by Optimal order quantity formula using the fixed order quantity formula
Formula:: Optimal order quantity = [tex]\sqrt[2]{\frac{2CoD}{Ch} }[/tex]
Where
Co = Ordering cost per order
D = Annual demand
Ch = Holding cost per unit
Calculations
Lets put in the values
Optimal order quantity = [tex]\sqrt[2]{\frac{2CoD}{Ch} }[/tex]
Optimal order quantity = [tex]\sqrt[2]{\frac{2*6*12000}{2.5} }[/tex]
Optimal order quantity = 240 units

Collins Company borrowed $1,250,000 from BankTwo on January 1, 2016 in order to expand its mining capabilities. The five-year note required annual payments of $325,545 and carried an annual interest rate of 9.5%. What is the amount of expense Collins must recognize on its 2017 income statement
Answer:
Collins Company must recognize $118,750 (which is annual interest paid on the capital) in its 2017 income statement as an expense item if the method of computing the interest is the flat rate method.
If it is reducing balance rate, then the amount deducted will equal $ 87,823
Explanation:
According to the principles of Financial Accounting, the interest portion of any loan must be entered as an expense item. The portion of the principal being paid back is recorded as part of the liability of the company in the period under consideration. It often goes by the term Loan Payable or Notes Payable.
Hence to arrive at the answers given above, you must note that the year in question is 2017 and that the loan took effect from January 2016.
When computing for interest payable, two methods may be used:
Flat rate method: which requires that the interest rate applicable is computed on the capital and multiplied by the number of years the loan will run.That is, $1,250,000 x 9.5% x 5 = Total Interest Rate Applicable.
= $593,750 so going by this method, the interest rate to be entered is
= $593, 750/5
= $118,750
2. Reducing balance rate method: This requires the rate of interest to be applied each year succesievely having taken into account the capital which way paid in the previous year.
That is, [Initial Capital-Annual Payments] *9.5%
For year 2016, annual payment will be Zero. Given that the loan started in that year. In 2017 however, the annual payment will apply as shown below:
= [$1,250,000-$325,545] *9.5%
= $924, 455 * 9.5%
= $87,823 (approximately)

A large international company has two business units. Invested assets and condensed income statement data for each business unit for the past year are as follows: Compute the following for Business Unit 1: a) Operating Income Using the Dupont Formula: b) Profit Margin % (round % to 1 decimal) c) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals) d) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal) Compute the following for Business Unit 2: 2A) Operating Income Using the Dupont Formula: 2B) Profit Margin (round % to 1 decimal) 2C) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals) 2D) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal)
Answer:
1. Compute the following for Business Unit 1:
a) Operating Income = $117,500
b) Profit Margin = 20.7%
c) Investment Turnover = 0.86
d) Return on Investment = 0.2
2. Compute the following for Business Unit 2:
a) Operating Income = $69,750
b) Profit Margin = 12.2%
c) Investment Turnover = 1.18
d) Return on Investment = 0.1
Explanation:
1. Compute the following for Business Unit 1:
a) Operating Income
Operating Income = Revenue – Operating expenses = $280,000 – $162,500 = $117,500
Using the Dupont Formula:
b) Profit Margin % (round % to 1 decimal)
Net income = Operating income – Services department charges = $117,500 - $59,500 = $58,000
Profit Margin = Net income / Revenue = ($58,000 / $280,000) * 100 = 20.7%
c) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals)
Investment Turnover = Revenue / Invested Assets = $280,000 / $325,000 = 0.86
d) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal)
Return on Investment = Net income / Invested Assets = $58,000 / $325,000 = 0.1785 = 0.2
2. Compute the following for Business Unit 2:
a) Operating Income
Operating Income = Revenue – Operating expenses = $222,500 – $152,750 = $69,750
Using the Dupont Formula:
b) Profit Margin % (round % to 1 decimal)
Net income = Operating income – Services department charges = $69,750 - $42,625 = $27,125
Profit Margin = Net income / Revenue = ($27,125 / $222,500) * 100 = 12.2%
c) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals)
Investment Turnover = Revenue / Invested Assets = $222,500 / $189,000 = 1.18
d) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal)
Return on Investment = Net income / Invested Assets = $27,125 / $189,000 = 0.1435 = 0.1
